Geoapify finds the place.Mapbase tells you which locations it belongs to.

You do not have to rip out Geoapify. Pipe the selected coordinates through Mapbase and get canonical IDs, INE-aligned hierarchies, and boundaries your product can filter on.

Geoapify

Strong EU place search — two passthrough routes, not a location registry.

EU-focused place autocomplete (BYO key via Mapbase)
Boundary polygons via /v1/providers/geoapify/boundaries
One SDK for Geoapify passthrough alongside Mapbase routes
No stable admin hierarchy across PT, ES, IT, and UK
Autocomplete results are not a joinable location registry
No geocode or reverse-geocode passthrough routes (Google has four)
No pre-linked postcodes or custom zones

+ Mapbase layer

Canonical registry for PT, ES, IT, and UK — complements Geoapify, does not replace it.

Canonical mb_loc_* IDs that survive source updates
Point resolve → full administrative hierarchy in one call
Registry boundaries and zones as GeoJSON or polyline
Works layered on your existing Geoapify autocomplete flow

See point resolve in the playground
